The two left the inn smoothly, without any obstructions on the way.
Xiao Xixi looked back at the inn behind her, and no one came after them, but she would bet that the baby-faced young man would secretly send someone to watch them both.
She turned to look at the man beside her and asked in a low voice.
"Where are we going next?"
Yu Jiu pursed her lips, her face tightened even more, and there was a strong sullen look between her brows.
He stammered out a word.
"Go back to Yu's house."
Xiao Xixi touched her belly: "Should we have a late night snack?"
They didn't eat dinner. The most recent meal was at Weiji Mutton Restaurant at noon. It has been six or seven hours since now. Although they ate a grapefruit in the middle, that little thing was not enough.
She is really hungry now.
Yu Jiu has no appetite at all now, so she opened her mouth and wanted to say no.
But when he touched Xiao Xixi's hopeful eyes, he couldn't help but get stuck.
"… What do you want to eat?"
Xiao Xixi looked around.
In the middle of the night, the street was empty, and the shops on both sides were closed, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see.
But as a competent foodie, you can find a place to eat even in the middle of the night!
She took a deep breath and tried to distinguish the scent of food in the icy air.
It smells like bone broth!
As she inhaled, she walked towards the place where the scent came from.
Yu Jiu followed her expressionlessly and couldn't help but complain.
"You look like a dog."
Xiao Xixi ignored him and focused on finding food.
The scent is getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, after turning a few turns in a row, she finally found a restaurant that was still open at the corner of the two alleys.
The door of the restaurant was open, the lantern hanging at the door gave off a warm dim yellow light, and the bunting hanging next to it had a big word "food" written on it.
Xiao Xixi took a deep breath: "This is it!"
Yu Jiu looked at Shi Shi's direction and couldn't understand how she found such a remote shop? The dog's nose is not as effective as her, right? !
Xiao Xixi ran into the store excitedly while saying "I'm here for the delicious food".
In a small place like Lingtai County, people have no nightlife at all. At this moment, everyone is basically asleep, and there are only a handful of people who are willing to come out for supper.
The whole store was empty. A fat middle-aged uncle was leaning against the table and dozing off. Beside him was a small stove with a small pottery urn, which was constantly emitting bone broth. fragrance.
Xiao Xixi woke up the fat uncle and ordered a large serving of rice noodles with meat, flour and eggs. Yu Jiu only wanted a simple bone soup.
The fat uncle brought the food, and also came with four white-faced buns.
He subconsciously thought that the large portion of rice noodles belonged to Yu Jiu, so he put it in front of Yu Jiu.
Before Yu Jiu could speak, Xiao Xixi quickly stretched out her hand and consciously dragged the large bowl of rice noodles in front of her.
This series of actions is very skillful.
The fat uncle looked at the sea bowl that was two circles bigger than her head and couldn't help asking.
"Are you finished?"
Xiao Xixi said there was no problem.
She picked up the rice noodles with chopsticks and stuffed them into her mouth. The rice noodles were full of the soup, and they were fragrant and soft in her mouth.
She gave the fat uncle a thumbs up: "Delicious!"
The fat uncle immediately smiled and rolled his eyes: "I have boiled this bone soup for a day, and it must taste very fragrant. If there is still a little left unsold, I would be reluctant to throw it away, and I would not open a store here. Time. By the way, there is a bun under the foundation, and there is bone marrow in it, which can be sucked and eaten."
Xiao Xixi turned over the bowl with chopsticks, and sure enough, two large pieces of bobbin bones were found, with some meat hanging from the ends of the bones. It looks so fragrant.
She ate all the flesh on the bones first, and then sucked the marrow out of it.
The fat uncle pointed to the white-faced bun next to him again.
"This can be shredded and soaked in soup."
Xiao Xixi nodded and said she knew.
Seeing that the fat uncle had nothing to explain, he said, "You guys eat slowly, and call me if you have anything."
Xiao Xixi buried her head and ate with relish.
Yu Jiu, who was sitting opposite, had no appetite.
He rested his cheek with one hand and looked at the deep night outside the door, wondering what he was thinking.
Xiao Xixi picked up the bowl, took a big mouthful of soup, and exhaled contentedly.
"How cool!"
Yu Jiu looked back at her, and said yin and yang strangely: "You are considered full."
Xiao Xixi: "Who said I'm full? You underestimate me too."
Yu Jiu: "..."
He looked at the oversized empty bowl in front of Xiao Xixi and fell into a strange silence.
Xiao Xixi looked at the bowl of bone soup in front of him and asked, "You haven't touched this soup, have you? If you don't want to eat it, you can give it to me, and I'll help you solve it."
Yu Jiu did not move.
But he didn't want to take advantage of the woman in front of him, so he deliberately scooped up the soup with a spoon and took a sip.
"Now that it has been touched by me, do you still want to eat it? If you don't mind, I can give it to you."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately showed a very bad smile.
Xiao Xixi vowed: "If you go to participate in Huashan's sword discussion, you will definitely be the first."
Yu Jiu: "Why?"
Xiao Xixi: "In terms of cheapness, no one can compare to you."
Yu Jiu: "..."
Xiao Xixi raised her chin and showed a provocative smile.
Come on, hurt each other!
Yu Jiu sneered: "I shouldn't have rescued you just now, I should have left you to those people from the Western Regions and let them teach you how to be a good person."
Xiao Xixi analyzed it methodically.
"They caught me because they felt like they cared about me.
But if you don't care about my life or death at all, I'm naturally worthless to them, and they will eventually let me go.
I originally thought that you would not come to save me, but I didn't expect you to come in the end. Is it really like what the little brother said, you actually care about me? "
Yu Jiu seemed to have heard some funny joke, and the sarcasm in his smile became more and more intense.
"I would care about you? If it weren't for you being of some use to me, I wouldn't be bothered to care about your life or death!"
Xiao Xixi felt relieved when she heard this.
"That's fine."
Hearing her words, Yu Jiu suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
What is her attitude
Is it annoying for her to be cared about by him
Is he that bad? !
Xiao Xixi didn't know what Yu Jiu was thinking. She recalled what happened tonight and asked.
"Don't you want to find out the truth about the murder of the Yu family? Why did Jiang Chengcai kill him? Maybe he knows something else?"
Yu Jiu was in a bad mood, even his face was stinky, and his tone was hard.
"I'll kill if I want, do I need to explain to you?"
